2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Sanders statement June 4: "The election is not over on June 7th. No candidate can declare victory" [View all]One Black Sheep
(458 posts)20. Exactly, and I love your sig picture.
what a lot of Hillary supporters aren't getting, or are in denial about, is that Bernie's stance has multiple benefits and advantages, one is that it allows more time for the FBI to finish their investigation, and perhaps there will be breaking news on that front by the time the convention rolls around, or some other new Clinton scandal blows up, and the super delegates will have little choice but to change their mind and switch to Bernie if they don't want a fatally wounded and sure loss candidate in the general election...

This is not at all like 2008 and 2012. Haven't you been following the primaries or 2008/2012?

It's kind of hard to pretend the election is still going when the rest of the world has moved on.

Or maybe... just maybe... they will call it, like in 08, as your opinion doesn't matter to them.

So his hope is for the super delegates to overrule the pledged delegate winner?

Including supers for determining a presumptive nominee is ALSO "the way the game is played now".

So the Hillary camp doesn't believe in rules? The rules were there when she signed up to run.
